Habituation as an adaptive shift in response strategy mediated by neuropeptides

Habituation is more than learning to ignore The long held notion that habituation is simply learning to ignore a repeated stimulus has been challenged by this work showing that habituation reflects a shift in response strategy to escape a repeated aversive stimulus. The laboratory of Dr. Catharine R...
